GIT-CHECK-MAILMAP(1)                         Git Manual                         GIT-CHECK-MAILMAP(1)



NAME
       git-check-mailmap - Show canonical names and email addresses of contacts

SYNOPSIS
       git check-mailmap [<options>] <contact>...


DESCRIPTION
       For each “Name <user@host>” or “<user@host>” from the command-line or standard input (when
       using --stdin), look up the person’s canonical name and email address (see "Mapping Authors"
       below). If found, print them; otherwise print the input as-is.

OPTIONS
       --stdin
           Read contacts, one per line, from the standard input after exhausting contacts provided
           on the command-line.

OUTPUT
       For each contact, a single line is output, terminated by a newline. If the name is provided
       or known to the mailmap, “Name <user@host>” is printed; otherwise only “<user@host>” is
       printed.

CONFIGURATION
       See mailmap.file and mailmap.blob in git-config(1) for how to specify a custom .mailmap
       target file or object.
